Subject: [PATCH v6 4/5] arm64: mm: implement the architecture-specific clear_flush_young_ptes()
Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2026 22:07:27 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ce749fbae3e900e733fa104a16fcb3ca9fe4f9bd.1770645603.git.baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1770645603.git.baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com>
Implement the Arm64 architecture-specific clear_flush_young_ptes() to enable
batched checking of young flags and TLB flushing, improving performance during
large folio reclamation.
Performance testing:
Allocate 10G clean file-backed folios by mmap() in a memory cgroup, and try to
reclaim 8G file-backed folios via the memory.reclaim interface. I can observe
33% performance improvement on my Arm64 32-core server (and 10%+ improvement
on my X86 machine). Meanwhile, the hotspot folio_check_references() dropped
from approximately 35% to around 5%.
